Nine coordination polymers based on dinuclear metal units/metal-carboxylate chains and 1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl-2′,4,4′′,5′-tetracarboxylic acid have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes 2 and 9 show the weak ferromagnetic interactions.

This report describes the synthesis and characterization of a family of unsymmetrical NCN pincer Ni(II) complexes 2-8 with NHC-triaizole arms. All of these complexes have been fully characterized by X-ray...

Herein, we report on the versatile reactions of CH3C(CH2PPh2)3 as well as CH3Si(CH2PPh2)3 derived Nicomplexes. While Ni[CH3C(CH2PPh2)3] complexes reveal high stability, the Ni[CH3Si(CH2PPh2)3] analogs showed rapid decomposition at room temperature...

Mixed-ligand ferrocenyl copper(II) complexes target the mitochondria of cancer cells showing remarkable cytotoxicity against HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cells while being much less toxic to MCF-10A normal cells.

A novel composite adsorbent, consisting of three-dimensional honeycomb-like porous carbon and MnO2 nanowires (HLPC/MnO2), has been successfully synthesized and is an excellent adsorbent for removing uranium(VI) ions from aqueous solutions.

In the current work a range of multidentate pyridyl-phosphine ligands are synthesised with tuneable electronic and steric character, through the incorporation of a variety of alcohols into (amino)pyridyl-phosphine frameworks. The...

Two new 3D porphyrin-based metal organic frameworks were obtained by solvothermally reacting iron (III) chloride, a free base (5,10,15,20-Tetrakis[4-(2,3,4,5-tetrazolyl)phenyl]porphyrin) (H2TTPP) and either pyrazine or DABCO. Both MOFs displayed a 3-D...

In this paper we present the characterization of the complex with formula [Mn2Ca2(hmp)6(H2O)4(CH3CN)2](ClO4)4 (1), where hmp-H = 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the cation...

Two new dysprosium complexes, [Dy(H5L)(NO3)2(CH3OH)2]∙4CH3OH (1), [Dy2(H5L)2(NO3)4(H2O)2]∙10CH3OH (2) were isolated from the reaction of a novel 1,8-naphthalenediol-based ligand N,N'-((1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,7-diyl)bis(methanylylidene))bis(2-hydroxybenzohydrazide), H6L with dysprosium(III) nitrate upon crystallization at different temperatures. Because of...

Reported are the syntheses, structures and magnetic properties, also by NMR spectroscopy in solution, of a series of 13 linear trinuclear 3d–4f compounds with a lanthanide(III) surrounded by two NiII ions, NiII2LnIII, where the central LnIII is hexacoordinate.

Comparison of the results of EDA-NOCV for the M←C bond in [NHC(R) → MR′] and [{P(Ph)3CHR} ← MCl] complexes reveals that the phosphorus ylides are slightly better σ-donors and weaker π-acceptors than the corresponding NHC(R).
